ALICO Building, Historic office building in downtown Waco, Texas
The ALICO Building rises 282 feet with 22 stories of brick and terra cotta exterior, featuring polished granite and Bedford limestone at its base.
Constructed in 1911 at a cost of $755,000, this building held the title of tallest structure west of the Mississippi River until 1929.
The structure represents early 20th-century Beaux-Arts architecture and serves as the centerpiece of Waco's business district, reflecting Texas commercial development.
The building maintains its original purpose as an office space, housing the American-Amicable Life Insurance Company and multiple business tenants.
During construction, workers discovered an underground lake while digging 40 feet down to reach bedrock for the foundation.
